Hiya,
So a couple of days ago my housemate picked up a 1995 300Tdi Disco. It's not in perfect shape, but it seems to go alright and has had all the suspect areas welded recently. I'm insured on it and it makes a nice - albeit somewhat pedestrian - change from my Volvo 850 T5 daily!
Anyway, I've made a little gripe sheet of things to get sorted soonish...mostly little jobs - any advice here would be appreciated!:
The main/dipped wiring seems to be crossed somewhere. So when the left is on dipped, the right is on main, and this swaps over when you pull the stalk. What would be the easiest way to swap it back? Splice the wires, swap them over and join them with a box connector?

- Passenger door handle plastic snapped. Can the handle be replaced without changing the lock?
- Nice big clunk from the drivetrain when your gearchange is less than perfect - possibly UJs but is sounds more propshafty...?
- Indicators don't self-cancel.
- I want spotlights! Best 'cheap' option?
- Replacement steering wheel. I'm sorry, but the stock one is like something from a kiddie's car. Any suggestions for something with a thinner rim, and maybe a touch smaller in diameter?
- Driver's seat collapsed. Has anyone replaced the front seats with anything a bit more comfy?
Ben
